DESCRIPTION
I’m all about the classics, and I guess this design is proof. I take so much joy in the process of knitting and that includes the all-over stockinette and TV knits, such as this one. The first sample was knitted over a lengthy car ride in fact!
The Raglan… With a Twist sweater is an ode to mindless knitting. You can make it as simple as you want: a very basic top-down raglan sweater with a bit of a “pouf” sleeve. If you’d like to add just a bit more interest, a few optional design features are sure to scratch that itch. There is an optional twisted rib detail you can add on the body. For the long sleeve version, the twisted rib detail can be added to the bottom of the left sleeve. A short sleeve option is also available.
Basic designs are not boring. Sometimes they are just a starting point.

Enjoy!
